A top Manchester United transfer target has made it clear, via his representatives, that he wants to join Arsenal as a priority this summer.
Arsenal identify attacking signings for Arteta
The Gunners wish to reinforce their attacking options ahead of 2024/25 after very narrowly missing out on the Premier League title last season.
Arsenal pushed Man City all the way to the final day, but fell just short despite accumulating 89 points and scoring 91 top-flight goals. Kai Havertz impressed in a makeshift forward role under Mikel Arteta, chipping in with 13 goals and seven assists over 37 league appearances.
However, despite the German’s form, it is believed Arteta personally wants to sign a young Havertz partner for Arsenal this summer, and one who can help to lead the line.
A new striker to alternate with the former Bayer Leverkusen starlet is on the agenda, and one name who won’t stop being mentioned in tandem with Arsenal is RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.
The 6 foot 5 centre-forward scored 18 goals in all competitions, and the £55 million release clause in his contract is tempting elite clubs across Europe. Arsenal chiefs are said to be confident Sesko will choose to join, though, after making him a proposal behind the scenes (TEAMtalk).
Sesko makes it clear that he wants to join Arsenal
According to HITC, Sesko has made it clear via intermediaries that he wants to join Arsenal despite serious interest from Man United, Paris-Saint Germain and Chelsea among others.
